SUMMARY: The Department of Commerce 

(‘‘the Department’’) received timely 

requests to conduct administrative 

reviews of the antidumping duty orders 

on certain frozen warmwater shrimp 

(‘‘shrimp’’) from the Socialist Republic 

of Vietnam (‘‘Vietnam’’) and the 

People’s Republic of China (‘‘PRC’’). 

The anniversary month of these orders 

is February. In accordance with the 

Department’s regulations, we are 

initiating these administrative reviews. 

EFFECTIVE DATE: April 6, 2007. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Alex 

Villanueva (Vietnam) or Christopher

Background 

On February 2, 2007, the Department 

published in the Federal Register its 

Antidumping or Countervailing Duty 

Order, Finding, or Suspended 

Investigation; Opportunity To Request 

Administrative Review, 72 FR 5007 

(‘‘Notice of Opportunity’’). In the Notice 

of Opportunity, the Department stated 

‘‘for any party the Department was 

unable to locate in prior segments, the 

Department will not accept a request for 

an administrative review of that party 

absent new information as to the party’s 

location. Moreover, if the interested 

party who files a request for review is 

unable to locate the producer or 

exporter for which it requested the 

review, the interested party must 

provide an explanation of the attempts 

it made to locate the producer or 

exporter at the same time it files its 

request for review, in order for the 

Secretary to determine if the interested 

party’s attempts were reasonable, 

pursuant to 19 CFR 351.303(f)(3)(ii).’’

See Notice of Opportunity at 72 FR 

5008. 

PRC 

The Department received timely 

requests from the Ad Hoc Shrimp Trade 

Action Committee (‘‘Petitioners’’), the 

Louisiana Shrimp Association (‘‘LSA’’), 

Zhanjiang Evergreen Aquatic Product 

Science and Technology Co., Ltd. 

(‘‘Evergreen’’), Asian Seafoods 

(Zhanjiang) Co., Ltd. (‘‘Asian 

Seafoods’’), Hai Li Aquatic Co., Ltd. 

Zhao An, Fujian (‘‘Hai Li’’),1 and the 

Allied Pacific Group,2 in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.213(b), during the 

anniversary month of February, for 

administrative reviews of the 

antidumping duty orders on shrimp 

from the PRC. Petitioners requested an 

administrative review for 401 

companies, while LSA requested an 

administrative review for 162 

companies. Subsequently, Petitioners 

withdrew their request for review for 

the PRC for all but eight companies. See 

Petitioners’ letters dated March 1, 2007, 

March 16, 2007, and March 27, 2007. 

With respect to the LSA’s requests for 

administrative review the Department 

notes that, for the following 58 

companies, the addresses provided for 

those entities were identical to those 

provided to the Department in the 

previous administrative review and 

were found to be undeliverable: Allied

Undeliverable Addresses Information

Administrative Review of Certain Frozen 

Warmwater Shrimp from the People’s

Certain Frozen Warmwater Shrimp from 

the People’s Republic of China, dated 

April 2, 2007 (‘‘PRC Undeliverable 

Addresses Memo’’) at Attachments I and 

II. 

The LSA requested that the 

Department reconsider its decision, as 

defined in the Notice of Opportunity, to 

not accept a review request for a 

company absent new address 

information. See LSA’s PRC Review 

Requests at 4–5. However, although the 

LSA states that it attempted to find 

additional address information, the LSA

3Those Vietnamese companies listed below with

an administrative review. 

has provided no additional address 

information for any of these companies, 

beyond what was previously provided 

in the 2004–2006 administrative review 

of shrimp from the PRC. See PRC 

Undeliverable Addresses Memos at 

Attachment I. Therefore, although the 

LSA requested that the Department 

reconsider its decision, we continue to 

find that it is inappropriate to initiate an 

administrative review of companies 

which we know that we cannot locate. 

Based on previous unsuccessful efforts 

by the Department to locate these 

companies, further efforts would be 

futile, absent new information as to 

their location. Accordingly, the 

Department is not initiating on the 

above-referenced 58 companies from the 

PRC. 

In addition, the LSA has requested 

that the Department conduct an 

administrative review from the PRC of 

Zhanjiang Guolian Aquatic Products 

Co., Ltd. (‘‘Guolian’’). However, Guolian 

is excluded from the antidumping duty 

order on shrimp from the PRC. See 

Notice of Amended Final Determination 

of Sales at Less Than Fair Value and 

Antidumping Duty Order: Certain 

Frozen Warmwater Shrimp From the 

People’s Republic of China, 70 FR 5149 

(February 1, 2005) (‘‘PRC Shrimp 

Order’’). Thus, the Department is also 

not initiating an administrative review 

for Guolian. 

Therefore, the Department is hereby 

initiating the second administrative 

review of the antidumping duty order 

on shrimp from the PRC for the 

remaining 105 companies for which the 

Department has received a sufficient 

request for review. 

Vietnam 

The Department received timely 

requests from Petitioners, the LSA, and 

certain individual companies, in 

accordance with 19 CFR 351.213(b), 

during the anniversary month of 

February, for administrative reviews of 

the antidumping duty orders on shrimp 

from Vietnam. Petitioners requested an 

administrative review for 92 companies, 

while the LSA requested an 

administrative review for 84 companies 

from Vietnam. 

On February 28, 2007, Grobest & I–

Mei Industrial (Vietnam) Co. Ltd. 

(‘‘Grobest’’), Vietnam Fish–One Co., Ltd 

(‘‘Vietnam Fish–One’’), and 20 other 

individual exporters,3 self-requested an 

administrative review of their sales 

during the POR. On March 30, 2007, 

Petitioners withdrew their review 

request of 58 companies. 

Therefore, the Department is hereby 

initiating administrative reviews of the 

antidumping duty order on shrimp from 

Vietnam for the 100 companies for 

which the Department has received a 

sufficient request for review. 

Initiation of Reviews 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended 

(‘‘the Act’’), we are initiating 

administrative reviews of the 

antidumping duty orders on shrimp 

from Vietnam and the PRC. We intend 

to issue the final results of these reviews 

on approximately February 28, 2008.

4 If one of the below-named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of shrimp from Vietnam that have not qualified 

for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single Vietnam entity of which the named exporter is a part. 5Some companies appear to be listed twice, but there are two addresses provided in the administrative review requests for similar named 

companies and therefore, we are listing them separately. 6 If one of the below-named companies does not qualify for a separate rate, all other exporters of shrimp from the PRC that have not qualified 

for a separate rate are deemed to be covered by this review as part of the single PRC entity of which the named exporter is a part. 

Selection of Respondents 

Section 777A(c)(1) of the Act directs 

the Department to calculate individual 

dumping margins for each known 

exporter and producer of the subject 

merchandise. Where it is not practicable 

to examine all known producers/ 

exporters of subject merchandise 

because of the large number of such 

companies, section 777A(c)(2) of the Act 

permits the Department to limit its 

examination to either (1) a sample of 

exporters, producers, or types of 

products that is statistically valid based 

on the information available at the time 

of selection; or (2) exporters and 

producers accounting for the largest 

volume of subject merchandise from the 

exporting country that can be 

reasonably examined. 

Due to the large number of firms 

requested for these administrative 

reviews and the resulting administrative 

burden to review each company for 

which a request has been made, the 

Department is exercising its authority to 

limit the number of respondents 

selected for review. See Section 777A(c) 

of the Act. 

The Department intends to examine 

the largest exporters and producers by 

volume. Therefore, the Department has 

determined to send quantity and value 

(‘‘Q&V’’) questionnaires to the 

companies (or groups of companies 

where applicable) named above for the 

PRC and Vietnam to determine the 

largest exporters. See ‘‘Q&V 

QUESTIONNAIRE’’ section below for 

the procedures in this regard. 

Separate Rates 

In proceedings involving non-market 

economy (‘‘NME’’) countries, the 

Department begins with a rebuttable 

presumption that all companies within 

the country are subject to government 

control and, thus, should be assigned a 

single antidumping duty deposit rate. It 

is the Department’s policy to assign all 

exporters of merchandise subject to 

investigation in an NME country this 

single rate unless an exporter can 

demonstrate that it is sufficiently 

independent so as to be entitled to a 

separate rate. 

To establish whether a firm is 

sufficiently independent from 

government control of its export 

activities to be entitled to a separate 

rate, the Department’s analysis mirrors 

that established in the Final 

Determination of Sales at Less Than Fair 

Value: Sparklers from the People’s 

Republic of China, 56 FR 20588 (May 6, 

1991) (‘‘Sparklers’’), as amplified by the 

Notice of Final Determination of Sales at 

Less Than Fair Value: Silicon Carbide 

from the People’s Republic of China, 59 

FR 22585 (May 2, 1994) (‘‘Silicon 

Carbide’’). In accordance with the 

separate rate criteria, the Department 

assigns separate rates to companies in 

NME cases only if respondents can 

demonstrate the absence of both de jure 

and de facto government control over 

export activities. 

The Department recently modified the 

process by which exporters and 

producers may obtain separate rate 

status in NME investigations. See Policy 

Bulletin 05.1 Separate Rates Practice 

and Application of Combination Rates 

in Antidumping Investigations 

Involving Non-Market Economy 

Countries, (April 5, 2005), available on 

the Department’s Web site at http:// 

ia.ita.doc.gov/policy/bull05-1.pdf. The 

process now requires the submission of 

a separate rate status application. 

Due to the large number of companies 

subject to administrative reviews in 

both the Vietnam and the PRC 

proceedings, the Department is 

requiring all companies listed above 

that wish to qualify for separate rate 


pwalker on PROD1PC71 with NOTICES
17100 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 66 / Friday, April 6, 2007 / Notices 

status in these administrative reviews to 

complete, as appropriate, either a 

separate rate status application or 

certification, as described below. 

Because the Department intends to 

select the mandatory respondents by 

selecting the exporters/producers 

accounting for the largest volume of 

subject merchandise exported to the 

United States during the period of 

review, the Department will require all 

potential respondents to demonstrate 

their eligibility for a separate rate. For 

those respondents not representing the 

largest volume of subject merchandise 

exported to the United States, the 

Department will make separate rate 

determinations for each company. Only 

those respondents with separate rate 

status will be included in the group 

receiving the weighted-average margin 

calculated from the selected 

respondents. However, for any 

respondent that is determined later in 

this segment to have provided 

inaccurate information regarding its 

separate rate status, the Department may 

apply facts otherwise available with an 

adverse inference if it determines that 

such respondent failed to cooperate by 

not acting to the best of its ability. 

For these administrative reviews, in 

order to demonstrate separate rate 

eligibility, the Department requires 

companies for which a review was 

requested and who currently have 

separate rates status to certify that they 

continue to meet the criteria for 

obtaining a separate rate. The 

certification form will be available on 

the Department’s Web site at http:// 

www.trade.gov/ia/ on the date of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. In responding to the 

certification, please follow the 

‘‘Instructions for Filing the 

Certification’’ in the Separate Rate 

Certification. Certifications for both 

Vietnam and the PRC are due to the 

Department by close of business on 

April 23, 2007. The deadline and 

requirement for submitting a 

certification applies equally to NMEowned companies, wholly foreignowned companies, and foreign resellers 

who purchase the subject merchandise 

and export it to the United States. 

The Department requires, to 

demonstrate eligibility for a separate 

rate, a separate rates status application 

for companies that do not currently 

have separate rates status. The separate 

rate status application will be available 

on the Department’s Web site at 

http://www.trade.gov/ia/ on the date of 

publication of this Federal Register 

notice. In responding to the separate 

rate status application, please refer to 

instructions contained within the 

application. Separate rate status 

applications are due to the Department 

by close of business on June 1, 2007. 

The deadline and requirement for 

submitting a separate rate status 

application applies equally to NMEowned companies, wholly-foreign 

owned companies, and foreign resellers 

that purchase the subject merchandise 

and export it to the United States. 

Further, due to the time constraints 

imposed by our statutory deadlines, the 

Department may be unable to grant any 

extensions for the submission of 

separate rate certifications or separate 

rate status applications. 

Q&V Questionnaire 

As discussed above, in advance of 

issuing the antidumping questionnaire, 

we will also be requiring all parties for 

whom a review is requested to respond 

to a Q&V questionnaire, which requests 

information on the respective quantity 

and U.S. dollar sales value of all exports 

of shrimp to the United States during 

the period February 1, 2006 through 

January 31, 2007. The Department will 

send the Q&V questionnaire to the 

companies (or groups of companies 

where applicable) named above. In 

addition, the Q&V questionnaire will be 

available on the Department’s Web site 

at http://www.trade.gov/ia/. The 

responses to the Q&V questionnaire are 

due to the Department by close of 

business on April 23, 2007. Due to the 

time constraints imposed by our 

statutory and regulatory deadlines, the 

Department may be unable to grant any 

extensions for the submission of the 

Q&V questionnaire responses. In 

responding to the Q&V questionnaire, 

please refer to the instructions 

contained in the Q&V questionnaire. 

All firms requested for review and
